Connecting

Please reset router to factory settings to avoid problems with some previous configuration.
Connect your computer to the board.
Set static IP address in 192.168.1.x range

Prepare appropriate firmware from your model.
Just as in normal OpenWrt sysupgrade upload a file to the router and issue the command sysupgrade-n image_name.
The firmware upgrade procedure can take few minutes.
After that you will need to reconnect LAN cable or to Disable/Enable NIC card in order to get new valid IP address in 192.168.45.x range from router.
Do not power off the router during the firmware upgrade, as it can cause the device to crash or become unusable.

Configuring parameters

On Status page you will see a MAC address of your OpenWRT router which will be used in the SignUp process.
After selecting your HotSpot name, select as HotSpot model OpenWRT, and add your MAC address from Status tab.

From Setup page configure your OpenWRT router.
Be sure that you set Autostart option. This option is not active by default.
When you finish with the settings press Save button on bottom of the page.
